- Subject: [InetBib] SWIB16 (Semantic Web in Libraries): Deadline extended to May 22
The submission deadline for the 8th conference "Semantic Web in
Libraries" (SWIB), November 28 - 30 in Bonn, has been extended to
May 22, 2016.
Call for Proposals: SWIB16 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference
28.11. - 30.11.2016, Bonn, Germany
The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference
focusing on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related
organizations. It is held in Germany, by turns in the Cologne region and
Hamburg. The topics of talks and workshops at SWIB revolve around
opening data, linking data and creating tools and software for LOD
production scenarios. These areas of focus are supplemented by
presentations of research projects in applied sciences, industry
applications, and LOD activities in other areas. SWIB mainly targets IT
staff, developers, librarians and researchers.
As in prior years, SWIB16 will be organized by the ZBW - German National
Library of Economics / Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and the
North Rhine-Westphalian Library Service Centre (hbz). The conference
language is English.
Is there an interesting service, research topic or project that you
would like to present at the conference? Would you like to offer a
pre-conference tutorial or workshop on the afternoon of 28 November?
